Chapter 3263 - Parallel Universe

Li Yao did not expect that the silver-white giant's speed would be increased by ten times in the blink of an eye, nor did he expect that it would tear its wounds into an overwhelming bloody mouth. It was too late to run away. The entire world was swallowed by the silver tide. He fell into the bottomless crevice inside the silver-white giant's body together with the 'super-large divine weapon'.

Li Yao felt that he was falling into an endless abyss. He could not find any place to exert his strength, nor could he sense his body or the super-large weapon.

The chaotic darkness around him gradually turned into spots of brightness. Then, stars that looked like sand poured down like a waterfall, as if he had passed through the silver giant and returned to the boundless universe.

However, this was not an ordinary universe.

There were too many stars in this place.

It must be noted that, in the 'real' universe, the distance between stars was extremely far. No matter how furious the light and heat were, they would become extremely dim after thousands of lightyears. Therefore, sailing in the sea of stars was like an ant passing through a sealed, dark box. At most, a few tiny holes would appear on the surface of the box, through which a few feeble rays of light would leak in.

However, the stars here were too dense, too bright, and even too dazzling, as if all the stars in the universe had been attracted to Li Yao's head. Or rather… billions of universes overlapped.

"This is—"

Li Yao was greatly alarmed. He immediately realized what was going on. "Inside the flood!"

He had been planning to go deep into the enemy's territory and give the flood tide a 'bloom in the center'. Right now, the flood tide had really opened all the barriers openly and allowed him to march forward. However, the inside of the flood tide was beyond his expectation. The information and data behind the stars were too profound for him to comprehend.

Li Yao could only let the tides push him forward where the stars were densest, as if billions of suns had exploded at the same time.

For a moment, endless energy flooded into his soul, making him feel that he could not resist at all and that his soul was about to be obliterated.

However, after he gradually adapted to the indescribable brightness, he finally 'saw', or rather, 'feel', that countless blue planets were floating above the brilliant ocean of flames. Every blue planet had their own small, delicate galaxies as their 'protection covers'. There was also vague gold brightness around every protective cover. There was no telling whether it was a protection or a seal.

Shua! Shua! Shua! Shua!

When Li Yao extended his consciousness, the information of the blue planets flooded into the depths of his soul like a tide. He could see the terrain of every blue planet clearly. The mountains, the oceans, the scattered towns, and the faces of the creatures living in the towns who called themselves 'the spirits of all living creatures'.

On countless Earths, the emotions, will, and imagination of countless human beings, which were the foundation of intelligent life, were all transformed into a pure and powerful force that was absorbed and sent into the brilliant ocean of flames.

Li Yao found the scene extremely familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

Right. 'Fuxi', the super artificial intelligence behind the scenes of the Holy Alliance!

In the past, the Fuxi Clan had established countless 'laboratories of human nature' in the virtual world, which were designed to collect big data and support their ideal country.

The actions of the tides were quite similar. No, they were more 'advanced', because most of the laboratories of human nature of the Fuxis were virtual. The tides, on the other hand, were exploiting the real planets, or rather, the earth in the three-dimensional universe, to harvest what they needed!

No… The more Li Yao observed, the more terrified he became. Everything presented in the depths of the tide was beyond his comprehension. It was like the amalgamation of countless 'parallel worlds', countless 'parallel Earths', dancing in the boundless, brilliant ocean of flames.

"Is this the truth of the Reincarnation Prison?

"Every time the time loop ends and is about to be restarted, the old 'Earth' is not completely destroyed. Instead, it is completely digitized and informationized, fed into the depths of the tide, and transformed into a 'parallel Earth'.

"It's like when a computer system runs for a period of time and produces a lot of data changes and computation results, all the data will be copied, saved, transferred to another storage space, and restarted.

"Therefore, as many 'parallel Earths' as there were reincarnations in the past, the flood tide not only controlled the emotions and imagination of all the heroes on the 'present' planet but also the strength of countless heroes on the 'parallel Earths'!

The thoughts burst out in the depths of Li Yao's consciousness like a series of sparks.

Although the fog of darkness had been cleared, he was more confused than ever. If that was the case, the Flood Tide was much stronger than they had imagined. They were definitely no match for it, at least not with his petty tricks.

But the flood tide did not attack them with the strength of countless parallel Earths.

What was this unbelievably terrifying Quasi God doing with such tremendous strength?

"Now, do you believe me?"

A calm voice came from behind Li Yao. "This is not an illusion. It is a real 'parallel planet'. With such tremendous strength, I don't care about the harassment of a bug like you at all. Your noise and your biting mean nothing to me.

Li Yao was greatly alarmed. He turned around and saw the silver ball that looked like a balloon floating behind his head.

The silver ball had no facial features. The round mirror reflected Li Yao's own hilarious expression coldly.

"Even so, your wisdom and courage, or rather, your meanness and stupidity, still won me over… a little bit."

The silver ball continued sending messages to Li Yao. "Because of the 'touching' and the ocean-like energy that you provided for me, I can let you die knowing, no, not 'death', but a new life in the distant past.

Li Yao did not know how to react. He had been lost in countless 'parallel Earths' and the overlapping, interfering, splitting, and rebirth stars.

The information link between him and the silver ball immediately expanded.

The enormous data that looked like billions of stars flooded toward Li Yao's soul and painted an unbelievable, even unimaginable, picture of the universe for Li Yao in the most concise way.

Everything started with quantum mechanics.

Quantum mechanics was a branch of physics that studied the movement of the microscopic particles in the world of matter. It mainly studied the fundamental theories of the structure and nature of atoms, molecules, and condensed matter as well as the nucleus and the fundamental particles. It surpassed the category of classical physics and fundamentally changed the understanding of human beings about the structure of matter and its interactions.

Different from the classical mechanics that could be tested intuitively, there were many things in the field of quantum mechanics that defied common sense or even imagination. For example, the understanding of quantum mechanics for ordinary people almost all began with the famous thought experiment named 'Schrodinger's cat'.

Li Yao now knew that 'Schrodinger's cat' was not the work of the flood but a real thought experiment on the 'origin earth' billions of years ago that was proposed by Schrodinger, a famous physicist in Austria at the time, in order to explain the mechanism of quantum superposition on a macroscopic scale.

The thought experiment went like this: Suppose there was a live cat and a small amount of radioactive material in an ideal box. Then, there was a 50% probability that the radioactive material would decay and release poisonous gas to kill the cat, and a 50% probability that the radioactive material would not decay and the cat would survive.

According to classical physics, one of the two outcomes was bound to occur inside the box, and only by opening the box would the observers outside know the outcome inside.

In the quantum world, when the box was closed, the entire system would remain in an uncertain wave state, which was the superposition of life and death.

Whether a cat was dead or alive could not be determined until it was in the form of particles when the box was opened and observed by outside observers.

The famous thought experiment was designed to prove the extraordinary understanding and understanding of quantum mechanics about the micro-particle world, which turned micro-uncertainty into macro-uncertainty. A cat that was both alive and dead defied logic.

Schrödinger's cat was a hypothetical concept. Even Schrödinger himself had thrown out the experiment with a hint of mockery. But with the development of technology, human beings had achieved the 'Schrödinger cat state' in photons, atoms, and molecules. They had even discovered that the Schrödinger cat state, which was the quantum superposition state, was a universal state in life.

This greatly shook the previously stable, only, and firm world of mankind.

It even led to the concept of 'parallel universes'.

The reason was simple. All the micro-particles were 'unpredictable' because they were in the superimposed state of non-living, non-living, non-left, non-right, and non-imaginative. All the matter in the macroscopic universe, including the entire universe, was made up of countless micro-particles. Therefore, theoretically speaking, the macro-unpredictable universe should be in the superimposed state of 'everything is possible'. If we cannot perceive the 'unpredictable' and 'unpredictable', it can only be because there are countless parallel universes that are roughly similar but have subtle differences. We only live in one of them. We don't know the real face of the Lushan Mountain because we are in the mountain'. That's all.
